In illuminating eroticism as a fluid and multi-faceted concept, the exhibition is divided into four thematic categories: “Staged” that features staged photography that straddles the line between real life and fiction; “Private Diary” that presents snapshot and documentary captures of private lives; “Performance for the Camera” that showcases the artist’s self-revelation with performance elements; and “New Expressions” that features portraiture and still life where sexuality and the body take on surprising representations. “Staged” The male gaze and social connotations of eroticism are encapsulated in the works of staged photography on display. Nobuyoshi Araki’s black and white vintage photographs reflect an abiding fascination with female genitalia and women’s bodies in Japanese bondage, while Issei Suda’s Rubber series features staged images of rubber fetishists. Noritoshi Hirakawa’s works probe how families can transcend social taboos to connect with one another in today’s Japanese society. Masato Seto’s images of garish-looking Taiwanese women selling betel nuts question the reality of what is being sold. “Private Diary” Where glimpses of sexual relations run through the featured works of snapshot and documentary, Daido Moriyama’s close-up images taken during the 1980s, of mostly naked lovers mark his signature snapshot aesthetic. Kohei Yoshiyuki’s documentary photography taken during the 1970s of people gathering at parks for trysts captures the desperation that often accompanies sexual relations in the metropolis, as seen from the voyeuristic gaze. Hideka Tonomura offers a confrontational view of her mother’s love affair exposed and her own sexual life with documentary photography. “Performance for the Camera” The erotic perception of one’s selves with feminist view underlies the self-portraits of Tokyo Rumando and Emi Anrakuji that feature elements of performance. With a strong cinematic touch, Rumando’s portraits of herself playing different roles in staged scenes and her self-portraits taken in love hotels reveal her memories, fantasy, fear and pain. Anrakuji’s work is starkly self-revelatory and also voyeuristic, suggestive of being viewed from some hidden places. “New Expressions” New expressions of sexuality, the body and love fill the featured alternative nude portraiture. Daisuke Yokota’s close-up images of indistinct bodies illustrate the artist’s unique visual aesthetic, while Mayumi Hosokura’s nudes are metaphors for the ephemerality of youth and the eternity of nature. Eiki Mori offers sensitive glimpses of his emotions in works that explore male sexuality. In Sakiko Nomura’s series, in which each work is a unique piece of photography, the merging of bodies evokes the darkness of the artist’s own world. Whether the images are voyeuristic or exhibitionistic, provocative or subdued, realist or abstract, staged or candid, the featured works in this exhibition all represent a distinctive aesthetic that speaks of eroticism in contemporary Japanese photography which, as the title “Shikijo” suggests, is perceived and felt rather than defined.

Shortly after her graduation, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor which deeply affected her eyesight. During a 10-year recovery, she began to make block prints and taught herself photography. Anrakuji takes a uniquely obsessive interest in her own body and explores photography through intimate images of herself, which could be understood as a result of her long-time hospitalisation. In 2006, she was awarded the 22nd Higashikawa New Photographer Award presented by the Higashikawa International Photo Festival. She currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. About the work Anrakuji’s work is an ongoing projects of self-portrait. The work is starkly self-revelatory but at the same time conceals much and leaves much to the viewer's imagination. In her work, she often posed naked in front of camera or mirror, with objects associated with femininity and youth, such as dolls, flowers and sex toys. While her body is often fully or partially exposed, her face cannot be seen as it is always out of the frame or covered by her hair. Her work can be seen as self-exploratory, but also voyeuristic, suggestive of being viewed from some hidden places.

He studied photography and film at Chiba University. In 1990, he received the Photographer of the Year Award from The Photographic Society of Japan. His debut museum solo exhibition titled “Sentimental photography, sentimental life” was held in 1999 at Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Japan. Following that, his work has been exhibited extensively at different institutions around the world, such as “Nobuyoshi Araki: Self, Life, Death” at the Barbican Art Gallery (London, UK) in 2005, “Araki Gold” at l’Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica (Rome, Italy) in 2007 amongst other. Over the course of his career spanning 45 years, Araki has published over 450 books. His works are held in numerous museum collections including the Tate in UK and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in the USA. Araki currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. About the work Eros and thanatos (sex and death) have been the central themes in Araki’s work. His work reflects an abiding fascination with female genitalia and women’s bodies in Japanese bondage, which has become the signature motif of Araki’s works. In the Marvellous Tales of Black Ink series (1990s), the artist hand-painted directly on gelatin silver prints with Sumi ink which enhances the explicitness and playfulness of sexuality in the images.

His works are held in numerous museum and public collections including M+ Museum in Hong Kong, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in Japan and Yves Klein Foundation in the USA. Hirakawa currently lives and works in New York, USA. About the work Hirakawa’s works often explore the disparities of invisible social hierarchies and uncover social taboos hidden in the Japanese social system. In A Sense of Accomplishment (2008), he focuses on issues of bonding between daughters and their parents in present-day Japanese society. The work attempts to prove the existence of a reality where families can transcend superficial values and remains connected even on a subconscious level. In A Daughter’s Proposal (2008), a solitary daughter’s positive expectations of her family to acknowledge the reality in which she lives in can be observed.

  • Daido Moriyama
    Daido Moriyama Born in Osaka in 1938, Daido Moriyama first trained in graphic design before taking up photography under Takeji Iwamiya and later working as Eikoh Hosoe’s assistant for three years. He began his career as an independent photographer in 1964, gaining instant recognition with his first publication, Japan: A Photo Theater, and for his association with Provoke magazine for its second issue in 1968. Since then, Moriyama’s artistic output has shown no signs of slowing, with more than 150 publications and 100 solo exhibitions to his name to date. Renowned for capturing the social unrest of post-war Japan, a rapidly changing country caught between traditional values and nascent subcultures, Moriyama’s brutal approach to photography perfectly echoed his subject matter, tearing apart the slickness of urban Tokyo and unearthing its darker, hidden aspects. In search of a more subjective voice, Moriyama rejected the dominant photojournalistic style and glossy commercial imagery of the times, developing his distinctive form of expression known as “are-bure- boke” (“rough-blurry-out of focus”) in the late 1960s. His radical cropping, intense exposure, grainy and disorderly images liberated photography from tradition, capturing both the outside world and his inner state. Moriyama also looked to Western artists for inspiration, particularly Andy Warhol and William Klein. He absorbed a sense of the materiality of modern manufacturing from Warhol, and through Klein’s works, came to realize the degree of freedom offered by the medium of photography. While Moriyama is best known for his high-contrast, black-and-white images, his work also includes color photographs and Polaroids hallmarked by his snapshot aesthetic and the idea of subversive narration.

    Daido Moriyama (b 1938, Ikeda City, Osaka, Japan) studied photography under Takeji Iwamiya before moving to Tokyo in 1961 to work as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe. He produced a collection of photographs, Nippon gekijō shashinchō, which showed the darker sides of urban life and the less-seen parts of cities. In them, he attempted to show how life in certain areas was being left behind the other industrialised parts. Moriyama’s style is synonymous with that of Provoke magazine, which he was involved with in 1969, namely ‘are, bure, bokeh’, translated as ‘grainy / rough, blurry, and out-of-focus’. Moriyama’s photography has been influenced by Seiryū Inoue, Shōmei Tōmatsu, William Klein, Andy Warhol, Eikoh Hosoe, the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, the dramatist Shūji Terayama and Jack Kerouac‘s On the Road.

  • Katsura Imperial Villa: a Brief Descriptive Bibliography, with Illustrations
    Katsura Imperial Villa: A Brief Descriptive Bibliography, with Illustrations Dana Buntrock, University of California, Berkeley There are three imperial residences in Kyoto: Gosho (京都御所), rebuilt in 1855 and used for for- mal affairs even today; Shūgakuin1 (修学院離宮), a summer retreat on mountain slopes built in the mid-seventeenth century; and Katsura Imperial Retreat (桂離宮), slightly older than Shūgakuin. Upon the death of the Hachijō imperial line in 1881, Katsura came into the hands of the reigning household; shortly afterward, the Imperial Household Ministry was formed and took responsibility for the care of such sites. Sometimes grouped with the other residences, Nijō Palace was origi- nally built not for the imperial household but for the warriors who effectively ruled Japan from the seventeenth to the middle of the nineteenth century; today, it too is managed by the Imperial Household Agency (the scope and name of the Imperial Household Ministry having changed at the end of World War II). Of these four, Katsura, with its extensive grounds and esteemed teahouses in addition to a large, shoin-style residence, is best known of all, used both at home and abroad to illustrate arguments about architecture and national tradition. Yet even so, much remains to be said about the complex, as demonstrated by this brief descriptive bibliography. Early Shōwa (1928–1945) The first extensive documentation on Katsura was a set of loose-leaf folios, published by subscrip- tion under the auspices of the Imperial Household Ministry and dedicated to Baron Hideo Higa- shikuze, who oversaw artisans in the building trades department of the ministry between 1924 and 1931.
